Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 79

December 31, 2015, 01:29:23 AM

Hi there. Here is another batch of recent posters---all nice, but things I really could have lived without (well, the last three I may have "needed". Hmm.) Yikes!  I am running out of days. I'll need to post a few more tomorrow along with my plans for 2016.

Okay--here are the posters:


ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS:


Did I need this? No. But I am reasonably sure I have all of the Mel Brooks posters from BLAZING SADDLES or YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (whichever came first) onward. I don't have anything before then (i.e. THE PRODUCERS) though. I probably have this already, but just to be sure...  And why did I feel the need to be a Mel Brooks completest suddenly? Hmm...





MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.:

I know this was a big box office dud...but I heard it was good (?), I kind of want to see it and the stark red and blue hues in the poster really grabbed my attention.





RETURN TO HORROR HIGH:

I remember going to see this in the theater with something called MY DEMON LOVER. MY DEMON LOVER played first, and for one reason or another, my date andI never saw the 2nd feature (I'll leave just WHY to your imagination. Ha!). I've always wanted to see it though because, of the two movies, that was the one I really wanted to see. Ha! Oh well... I have to poster to taunt me now until I finally DO see the flick.





SOLE SURVIVOR:

Never saw this movie, but I've seen the poster now and again. It's interesting...so I finally got one.





THE OTHER SIDE OF MADNESS:

A creepy Charles Manson exploitation movie poster? Zowie!  Every cheesy poster collector in my age bracket should have at least one.





PREDATOR:

Just because it's a cult classic and inspired a series. I'll go ahead and get this first poster, but I'll pass on the sequels.





RISKY BUSINESS:

I saw this movie (in the theaters) way, way after everyone else did. It was a huge hit and my expectations for it were very high because of it. When I finally saw it, I was utterly disappointed. BUT, when I bid on this classic 80s poster, despite my lack of feelings for the movie, I was stunned to learn that this image---which I had always assumed was an early photoshop thing (since I never bothered to look at it that closely)--was actually a painting by Struzan! Looking at it more closely, I can see that now. Wow!




TIME TRAVELERS:

I've never seen this flick, but the poster is cool and always seems to escape my bidding grasp===until now. Whoo hoo!





RARE EXPORTS:

I've been curious about this Christmas horror (?) flick for some time. i should just buy it perhaps? Hmm.




IN LIKE FLINT:

Although the first FLINT movie is better, I am thrilled to FINALLY get a FLINT poster!  After the Bond flicks but before the MATT HELM flicks, I dig my FLINT films! Super happy to finally have a poster for one. Yahoo.




I have others that I MUST post tomorrow since tomorrow is the last day of 2015. Where has the year gone?

See you tomorrow.

Cheers!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #1

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This edition is a bit different. As you may know, with certain exceptions that may come my way, I've by and large stopped buying posters. This post isn't about new posters. Instead it is about my first experiencing linenbacking posters.  If you've read any of my posts before, you will know that I am NO FAN of linenbacked posters. However, as my collecting days were slowing/coming to an end, getting things on linen seemed to be the only way I'd be ever able to enjoy certain posters if I wanted them. I now have several linenbacked posters in my collection. I'm about to have four more... I am still working through a move I made 2 years ago. I am trying to get  my poster collection organized in some sort of manner. I am still going through boxes and tubes, trying to frame them or add them to my flat file drawers (or set them aside for either auction or to donate to thrift stores). During one such effort to (stupidly) pull...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2024

Well, 2024 is coming to a close. It's time once again to go through the year's purchases and touch on the favorites I picked up through the year. This was a light year for purchases for me--and next year I expect will be even more sparse, if there are any at all. But I was able to eek out 10 (actually 11) faves for 2024 and here they are: (Honorable Mention) HOUSE OF THE DEAD: I don't have much this year to warrant an "honorable mention". I would probably have used this poster in the #10 spot...except the one there I had been after for sooooo long (despite the movie turning out to be snore-inducing when I finally saw it). This poster I had never seen before--not am I familair with the movie. it probably sucks, but I liked the artwork on the poster---so that is why I chose to include it--honorable mention or not. 10):   THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS  and  OKEFENOKEE  (combo) : I have been after this poster for decades--long before I ever saw the yawn-inducing film...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #7

  Welcome back! I certainly NEVER expected to be back with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show, yet here I am. Sure, maybe a "special edition" (about hanging posters or framing them, etc.) would have popped up--but one with "new" posters? No. I have cancer and have been going through chemo for the last four months. Why buy posters if I wind up dead? I resisted for a long time, but...here I am, binging (and mostly on CRAP!). There are 14 here...instead of my ususual 10. I haven't been keeping track of the (utter trash) I've been buying. So, as best I can figure out, for better or worse (mostly worse), these are my new purchases since May or June. I am pulling this together as I realized it's the end of the year--and a "best of 2024" should happen. O' the fun... NOT! I'm trying to recover from my last chemo treatment even now --and all I want to do is be in bed. THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS: Several pieces I ended up with are in poor shape an...
